Essence velvet stick review

Last week, I went into town with a friend and picked up a few things. One of them was the essence velvet stick matt lip colour from wilkos.

Mine was in the shade 02 peony star. As soon as I tried it, I really liked it so I thought I’d do a quick review…

Firstly, this is so cheap at only £2 and considering the price, it has a soft texture and fairly high coverage. The fact that it’s shaped like a pencil makes it so much easier to apply and the semi – matt  finish doesn’t make your lips look dry like many matt lipsticks normally do. Also, I think the colour is a really pretty pinky-mauve shade. 

The only problem with this is that it is not very long-lasting compared to other lipsticks. Providing I don’t eat or drink, I could probably wear this for a few hours before it rubs off.

Overall, the formula is nice and easier to wear although it could be improved with some more lasting power 🙂

Thanks for reading,
